Lou might not be the most feminine name but at least it can be pronounced in Any country rather than just one (which will be handy because she is part of an interracial and multiracial and multicultural brood).

And in french Loup, pronounced like Lou means wolf,

i used to have a classmate called Lou…but he’s a boy.
I just want to see pictures! Still sounds better than Coco or Apple though lol

Congrats to Seal and Heidi on their new bundle of joy!!

Seriously, why do people have to ascribe their standard or rightness/wrongness to other peoples cultures? That called ethnocentrism people.

Lou is actually a German girls name. For those that need clarification, it’s the Germanic form of the English name Lucy, the French Louane or Italian Luana, it’also a diminutive of the German name Louise, meaning a nickname but can be used alone as an official first name. It’s pronounced less like the English male name Lou, and more like the legal term lieu with a long or double middle E as in leew.

Hope that helps.

The more I hear the name, the more I love it! Welcome, Lou! BantaBants, I love your son’s name too. I always feel sad when I hear that new parents receive criticism about their child’s name from their family and friends. That happened to a friend of mine the day her daughter was born. Both sets of grandparents voiced negative opinions about the name that was selected, but of course, today, a mere 2 months later, no one can think of her as anything other than the name that was chosen! I wonder if they wish they had just kept their mouth shut!

Congratulations to the Klum-Samuels! I love the name, especially the flow of it, and being European (half German even!) I have to agree with those saying that Lou is a womens name here. I have met several female Lou (from the UK, Germany, France and Denmark)but only one male, and he was american.

Trullesand, I bet against You, Heidi went to school in Germany and will most probably have read Nietsche, Rilke and possibly even Freud in school.

Apparently having the right to an opinion is not allowed by many posters on CBB. So what that individuals think that it “sounds” like a masculine name? It’s a name. It is NOT a judgment on the baby herself. I like the name, but I have no problem with other individuals not liking it. I suppose I’m just open minded that way. And Heath you are correct, the world is not NORTH American. If you want to bash someone for being politically incorrect then IMO one should portray the same behavior oneself. It’s just a thought, but on an North American website picturing two individuals living in said North America whether of origin or not, raising & birthing their children in the same that it wasn’t meant as a anything but a harmless comment rather than assumed ignorance (I take that as implied judgement). Just food for thought. This is the internet afterall. Honestly, if this many people have an issue with the simplicity of a name then it’s no wonder this world has problems. sad, really. Anyway, I like this family & send my best to their newest addition.

Congrats to Heidi and Seal! Not loving the name “Lou,” but, oh, well. Maybe they can call her “Lola” short for her middle name. That sounds a little more girly than “Lou,” but to each his own.

I bet that little girl is a cutie! Can’t wait to see pics.
